Need Help??

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Monks,

Happy New Year.

I have a humble question for you on mech:firefox.

I have 2 links which have a same xpath pattern. I need to click on the 2nd one. By doing the below code, I am Clicking default first. I need to click the 2nd. How could it be possible..?

$mech->click({ xpath => "//a[\@title=\"Go to the next page\"]", synchronize => 0 });

Thx.

You can have indices in XPath expressions. I suggest you use them. See the "predicates" in the XPath specification. As an alternative, you can do the same in Perl, by first finding all relevant links, storing them in an array and then passing the second entry in the array as an argument to `->click()`.
